I think Detroit would prefer a blueliner that's a bit younger and has a longer contract, so this deal wouldn't work as written even in a rational world. That said, we don't live in a rational world, we live in a world where Darren Helm is arguably the single most overrated roster player in the National Hockey League, and no deal discussion involving him will ever end well. You'd have a better chance trying to pick up Zetterberg, because I seriously think half the Red Wings fanbase would rather lose him than Darren Helm.

Thanks, Howson, for cleaning up MacLean's toxic waste. Welcome, Kekalainen; let's get good things built!
